Q.
Dear Dr Glaister My 8 year old daughter has been fitted with a removeable upper expander for a crossbite. She needs to initially wear it for 2 hours a day. I can’t even get her to wear it for 5 minutes as she says her mouth fills up with water. She has not managed to put it in herself either (she panics and cries). She returns to school on the 11th Jan and I would like her to be comfortable with it by then and speaking correctly. Do you have any advice? Many thanks.,
